Show overview
The Randomly Generated History Club has been publishing since 2022, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 57 episodes, alongside 2 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 35 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 33 min and 42 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. It is catalogued as a EN-language Comedy show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 2.3 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2023, with 34 episodes published. Published by Randomly Generated Media.
